This Architecture and Interior Design Office is a Gift to Artists and Creative Mavericks | MuseLAB

Celebrating the decadal milestone of our journey as a design collective, the architecture and interior design office, ‘Unicorns Exist’ is a gift dedicated to our ever-growing tribe of dreamers, artists, and creative mavericks!

Our journey began in 2012 in a 50-square-foot conference room. In 2015, we moved into our beloved ‘first’ office. At 300 square feet, this felt like home, teeming with life, and stood inconspicuously tucked behind the lattice façade screen. It is a landmark long synonymous with our roots.

Editor’s Note: “Unicorns Exist commemorates a decade of creative evolution, tracing a journey from a modest conference room to a vibrant Mumbai studio. Embracing Prabhadevi’s essence, the space merges tactile materials with airy interiors, fostering an environment where ideas flourish. Artworks and bespoke furnishings enrich this sanctuary, celebrating a design collective’s unwavering spirit and imaginative pursuit of the extraordinary.” ~Shagun Shah

Poetic Reflection

A growing team and abundant dreams soon craved another change of address. A six-month-long search that scoured through the city’s real estate landscape ironically made us retrace our footsteps to right where we were. It was thus at Prabhadevi, in southern Mumbai. Rustic, thrumming with activity, and yet a poetic reflection of old Bombay.

The generously sized windows and the changing symphony of internal heights frame views of the tree canopies and also the roofscapes while brewing a sanctuary-like milieu. Thus, an inwardly focused refuge to observe and create with daylight as a permanent resident.

Tactile Experiences

Tactility is the overarching theme, evidenced by the rawness of the materials, colours, forms, and also textures. The matte, grainy feel of the cool white walls meets the slate-like ebony floors. Thus forming a fitting canvas for objects and experiences to find a home within.

The formerly dissected floor plan was gutted, resulting in an open layout now inhabited by live-edge workstations. 

Main Floor

The main floor hosts a double-height meeting space, crowned by the DNA chandelier crafted in collaboration with Jeet Soneji, a MuseLAB alumnus.

Right behind, the central workspace assembles itself, culminating in the nook where we also hunker down to ideate on the robust marble desk.

The elliptical wood table by the windows creates a snug corner to savour meals and doubles as an informal discussion spot. 

Objects are storytellers, and we have partnered with some cherished collaborators while peppering our studio with meaningful additions that celebrate craftsmanship and our story. Creations from the MuseMART universe make cameos, celebrating our experiments through the years.  

Ancillary Functions

Ancillary functions like the library, material inventory, and pantry are neatly tucked into the rectilinear space’s expanse.

A ribbon-like spiral staircase splices the main floor and loft, whisking us away to a quieter nook where one can peel away and marinate in creative juices or squeeze in an occasional power nap! 

Our curiosity and chameleonic design identity have made us believe in the impossible, in the mythical, in things that the world ceases to acknowledge the existence of, like unicorns.

They exist only for those who care to look closely and madly enough. And you can’t convince us otherwise!
